Generac and DR Power electric start pressure washers
The electronic start/stop button on the pressure washers can malfunction and start itself, which poses a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning if the unit is in a confined space.
There were nine reports of the pressure washers self-starting and operating while they were not connected to a water supply. No injuries or property damage was reported.
This recall involves Generac and DR Power brand electric start pressure washers with model numbers DPW3100DEN, DPW3101DEN, DPW3102DEN, G0071320, G0071321, G0071430 and G0071431. Consumers can check specific unit type, model number and serial number location information at www.generac.com/service-support/product-support-lookup.
The pressure washers were sold from February 2018 through February 2022 for between $450 and $650 at major home improvement and hardware stores nationwide and online, including Ace Hardware, Amazon, City Electric Supply, Costco, Do It Best, eBay, Essendant, Fastenal, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Menard’s, Orgill, Power Equipment Direct, Ravitsky Bros., Tractor Supply, True Value and Walmart.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled pressure washer unless they have removed the rechargeable battery, and contact Generac to arrange to have an authorized dealer replace the start/stop switch on the pressure washer free of charge. The pressure washer can continue to be used with the battery removed but using the pull-start option to start the unit. Generac is contacting known consumers directly to provide more details about the repair.
